Jimny problem. Gas flow back out when filling low tank

Postby Garrett Inside » November 14th, 2014, 9:08 am

Does anyone know why my jimny has this problem?
I've now got it and it happened twice. The tank was quarter and I had to fill it real slow for the gas to go in otherwise it would gush back out. It eventually took about $40. And it was filled to the brim. When I started it showed a little over half tank only and the gas at the brim went down.
It a foreign used with the 660 turbo unit. It seems like a kinda airlock problem.

Also who else besides dean wheels sells the aftermarket fender flares. They are out of stock.

check the vent hose to see if its clogged or being squeezed

The vent piping from the tank, was blocked with what looked like rusty dirt. I removed the hoses and prodded them till they were clear. There is also a check valve (three flaps in a tube)just before the tank on the main gas hose used to fillup. I suspect this was remaining closed when the tank could not vent the air.
I haven't used a gas station pump as yet but with a gas container I was able to fill up without the backwash of gas. So so far so good.

Thanks ignorant ignis fella!
